Britain's Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of
Cambridge, are on week-long trip to Canada. It was the first
time the couple have brought their children Charlotte and
George, 3, on an official visit to the country.
The family was in Victoria, British Columbia, on Thursday, where
they attended a children's party for military families.
The event on the grounds of Government House, an official
residence, included bubbles and a petting zoo with miniature
ponies.
But the two royal children seemed especially interested in an
archway of pink and green balloons, where Charlotte was heard
speaking to her brother.
It was not the first time on the tour that the children have
been the center of media attention.
On Saturday Prince George made headlines when he ignored Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau who was offering him a high-five and a
handshake.
The royal family has been greeted by enthusiastic crowds during
the tour of the western province of British Columbia and the
Yukon territory in the far north.
William is second in line to succeed his grandmother, Queen
Elizabeth, who has been Canada's head of state since she
ascended to Britain's throne in 1952.
